CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 16, 2024
MY WIFE AND I SAW IT LIVE ON TV AND PERHAPS YOU DID, TOO. THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF DONALD TRUMP. HAVING BEEN THROUGH MANY OF THESE — FROM JOHN KENNEDY, TO BOBBY KENNEDY, MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR, GEORGE WALLACE, AND GERALD FORD, I IMMEDIATELTY RECOGNIZED WHAT HAPPENED.
FIRST THOUGHT: SOMEONE KILLED HIM. SECOND THOUGHT: WHAT HAPPENS NOW? THIRD THOUGHT: HE’S OK AND LOOK AT THAT PICTURE OF HIM WITH BLOOD ON HIS EAR AND FACE AND HIS FIST PUMPING THE AIR AS HE SHOUTS “FIGHT.”
THE SECRET SERVICE DROPPED THE BALL. PEOPLE SAW THE SHOOTER ON THE ROOF AND ALERTED POLICE. THE RESPONSE WAS INSUFFICIENT. THE SECRET SERVICE AND FBI ARE CLAMMING UP.
MANY COMMENTATORS ARE SAYING THIS SEALS THE ELECTION FOR TRUMP. MAYBE. OTHERS SAY GOD PROTECTED TRUMP. I DISLIKE THESE KINDS OF STATEMENTS. WHAT ABOUT THE MAN WHO WAS KILLED PROTECTING HIS FAMILY AND THE TWO OTHERS WHO WERE GRAVELY WOUNDED. DID GOD CARE NOTHING FOR THEM?
AS I WRITE TODAY IN MY COLUMN, WE NEED TO TURN DOWN THE RHETORIC. WE ARE NOT EACH OTHER’S ENEMIES. WE HAVE PLENTY OF THOSE. LET’S PRAY FOR EEVIVAL IN OUR NATION WHICH HONORS GOD AND NOT A POLITICIAN. I’M CAL THOMAS.
